Today was even less exciting than yesterday, mostly I camped the leather guild and farmed for ice eles. The most exciting parts of the day involved spending lots of money!

I had never seen a picture of an Imperial Tapestry before, but I wanted one. I love love love the style in the new city, and was willing to pay a lot to get a piece of it for my own home. Unfortunately they're never up for sale, but I checked Somepage and saw that I could now make one! So I did! Not counting gold (I used the stack of gold beastcoins I had dug up to cover that), it cost me about 200K, but I did it and didn't even fail the synth! (Leather 94, gold-level gold subcraft.) And here it is! Unfortunately it's not quite as nice as I was hoping it would be (the colors are too dull, everything else in my MH overshadows it), but it's still okay. :)

And why stop spending money there? There were two other things I had been really really wanting for my mog house! (I had been resisting buying anything since I hadn't been in Sandy much, but I finally moved my HP back there and I'm spending almost all my in-city time there.)

The Star Globe sounded like a really, really cool item and the icon (link to Sopmepage) made it appear as though it would really look nice! It totally does not. Not at all. Is that, um, a sucky Easter egg in a poorly made... basket? nest? It's giant and ugly and I took it back out of my house and shipped it off to my Jeuno mule to sell. Blech!

And since I was spending money, I got the last thing I really wanted. (It was rarely up at the AH, but was today so I decided to grab it.) The Shield Plaque! Again, the icon sort of mislead me, but at least it's better than the horrible Star Globe. It's actually sort of nice looking, but it's up too high. See? Doesn't look balanced, it's too high and you can't lower it.

And last house-ish thing: My Galka mannequin wears the BRD AF I don't use, but I never noticed how the "shirt" showed off one's crotch so much. >< Gah, Galka-crotch! I need to buy some pants just to put on him. (Nevermind that my fish are gone. They vanish out of their tanks on a regular basis. Darned things, running around on me. >< )

I sure do love the Glacier. It's so darned pretty! It's a simple beauty, much like in the Canyon (perhaps my most favorite zone in the game). How surprising is it that Meri Mountains is growing on me as a pretty zone, too? I guess spending a half-hour there a day, every day for months lets you see the beauty in what on the surface appears to be a plain zone.

Monday is Eco/Escort, Tuesday is BRD static, and Wednesday is Celery runs, and sometime in this week is helping to camp some NM doggy. Busy week, but since I have little left that I have to do, that should be fine! Yay!
